"Defiance" A New Poem from Poems for Hungry Minds

"Poetry slows the urgent world and grants a focus on life within it. The discipline practiced by these authors has occasioned a kind of communal joy - poems that reflect a community of compassion for the world."

My friend, Tom Gordon, reads one of his poems from our new anthology, Poems for Hungry Minds, by the Highland Avenue Poets.

    Sometimes, I have something to say, and poetry is a way for me to say it.
